I started playing around with "water panning" last year, a technique which involves a semi-slow shutter speed and camera movement following moving water. While this kind of creative exploration was put on the back burner during the sailing season, I had to opportunity to try it once again this month! It was one of the very comfortable and sunny autumn days early this October, and I found myself...
As I mentioned recently, I've been trying to find time for creative work instead of the sailing events that consume my summer calendar. So, with a clear sky and dusk moonrise in the forecast, I packed up my seascape photography kit and made my way to Second Beach in Newport. Too often I find myself running to nearby beaches like the North Kingstown Town Beach or Narragansett Beach for last minute...
I've been counting down the days until a trip to warmer climates. That's right, I'm getting out of this polar vortex and heading to the Tropic of Cancer! Destination: Baja California. An almost two week jaunt around the tip of the Baja Sur peninsula will surely erase the winter blues long enough for me to return in time for spring. But until my counting days reach zero, I'm stuck in this New...

First up was Green Hill, the southern shore that plays host to so many of my winter seascapes! It was a golden afternoon with broken clouds slowing moving in from the west. I played with the water as the sun sank lower and moved over to some buried driftwood (which...

Of course it was high tide, which posed a problem, and it was an incoming tide with high surf from a low pressure system swirling somewhere offshore. I walked all the way to...
